    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Your Mac's Specs
Late 2013 rMBP, i7, 750m gpu, OSX versions 10.9.3, 10.10
Just out of curiosity, do you have Perian ( Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime components ) or Flip4Mac ( Windows Media® Components for QuickTime ) installed? It may help with playback.

Have you tried playback in VLC? ( VLC media player for Mac OS X )

Are you planning on editing this footage or just for viewing or what?

If you want to convert the avi file to a different container/codec, you can look into using:

VLC
Handbrake
Mpegstreamclip
FFMpegX

to convert the file to a different format/container.
